"Ayumi Hamasaki"/?????/Hamasaki Ayumi/born October 2, 1978}} is a Japanese recording artist, lyricist, model, and actress. Hamasaki has achieved popularity in Japan and Asia by enforcing her position as an artist and not trying to be forced as a "product", which was a common factor within the Japanese music culture and Avex Trax. Through her entire career, she has written all her lyrical content, produced her own music and has sometimes co-composed her music, which is evident in her albums Duty, I Am.../I Am... and Rainbow (Ayumi Hamasaki album)/Rainbow.

I don't think you should meet the people you most admire. I don't want reality to interfere with my image.

In the beginning, I was searching for myself in my music. My music was for me. I didn't have the mental room to be conscious of the listener; I wrote to save myself.

The way I work, typically, I do everything at the very last minute. Even if I was given two months, I'd do it in the last three days.

It sounds odd coming from me, but I realize what I say and how I look has a great impact.

I don't set goals. Like, that's what I want to be doing however many years from now. I do what I love to do at the moment. If I wake up tomorrow and decide I want to dance, that's what I'd do. Or design clothes.

New York was a relief - not all hierarchical and rule-bound.

I understand it's my role to realize people's dreams.

I always like whatever I did most recently. It's the closest to who I am at the moment.

I have trouble voicing my thoughts... I can't communicate very well that way.
